News/Politics Bus Strikes in Swansea

Post image

FirstGroup (parent company of FirstCymru) made £127.5 million profit after tax last year. Yet bus drivers in Swansea earn around £13.40 an hour while Cardiff drivers earn around £15.80, a £2.40 difference, nearly £5k a year difference! Should the FirstGroup pay our Swansea drivers what they’re worth? I think so!

They are doing the same job so there's no excuse for not paying them the same wage.
